GTA IV Performance

pepsi71ocean · Jan 17, 2009

as long as the game isn't choppy and its nice and sharp i don't care how many FPS it runs.

I give rockstart a lot of credit, i mean look at the game its even more lifelike then san andreas was. Yea so there are some things missing from the game, but given the amount of time and and effort put into the development im still amazed at what was accomplished.

according to reports from people in this very thread, higher resolutions and settings sometimes give higher FPS.

Being on high with 24FPS and low with 20FPS on the same system, would suck.

Also, most of us PC gamers think 30 is hte minimum FPS for games, and a lot think 60 is.

Well it isn't I get 24fps max its that vsync makes it stay at 24 and I find that very playable.

I believe its in the games settings or in vista you can right click it in the games folder and go to benchmark.

DRDNA · Jan 17, 2009

okay i have searched the net and found nothing ...it(bench for GTA4) must be part of the game install ..Oh well :ohwell:

DRDNA · Jan 17, 2009

WOW this game is almost 14GB :eek:

This must have the potential for very nice graphics...
Well I am downloading the game as I type..$50 poorer :cry:

Lets see how humbled I am when I run it...Get-er-done !

It's in the options of the game. Your rig will run this game very nicely.

Widjaja · Jan 18, 2009

Makes me laugh, seing what kind of rig is needed to play this game.
But I do beileve there is alot of processor work involved in it with all the characters.

Or I could have used my steam account as they have better download speed for me than Direct2drive...I went with D2D because I dont want Steam putting the Governor on my playing options in the house.

Q:
How do I enable high setting on Texture Quality?

DrPepper · Jan 19, 2009

@ radeon

Its probably since you have a quad as well. Someone with a dual core at the same settings will have much lower fps since the game uses 4 threads.

RadeonX2 · Jan 19, 2009

I guess Quad does help on FPS :toast:

I figured out enabling high on Texture Quality turns out I ran out of video memory...
Is the resource usage the video memory? I only got 489MB and I guess the MB changes every time I start the game

Its not that the game is graphically demanding its that think of what the cpu is involved in such as physics, ai and the other cars driving around including managing the gps and the traffic lights etc etc.

RadeonX2 · Jan 19, 2009

ya I noticed frame dips below 20FPS mostly at night headlights turned on and my memory usage skyrocket to almost 100% will adding more ram improve performance? currently I have 2x1GB on XP but I don't see any loading stutter.

here is with Texture Quality @ High frame dipping below 20FPS during nightime
system & memory usage @ peak

used the commandline.txt trick to enable Texture Quality on High

I prefer having to say that.
Saints Row is just trash compared with this one. IMO.
